    New Amsterdam isn't bad so much as it is wearily predictable. We've seen this all before, but we keep coming back for more.

    New Amsterdam makes it clear this isn’t just going to be a regular medical drama. This is going to be a very, very dumb medical drama. ... The show’s stated intent--to be a medical fantasy about doctors actually helping people--is beautifully dumb, but at least it’s occasionally funny.

    It’s about a jerk doctor who is fixated on rebelling against bloated health-care bureaucracy. ... An attempt near the end of the premiere episode to privately humanize Goodwin comes too late; New Amsterdam suffers extreme organ failure, starting with an infection in its heart.

    The best medical dramas have something going for them besides the blood and scrubs. This one is simply dead on arrival.

    I enjoyed this show right up to the point when their bigoted producers decided to portray all cops as dumb white minority child hunters. TheI enjoyed this show right up to the point when their bigoted producers decided to portray all cops as dumb white minority child hunters. The portrayal was so bigoted and twisted that I could barely finish the episode. I had hope some kind of balance would be restored but no such luck. Bigotry is bigotry. There is not an acceptable form or an acceptable group to be hated. Hollywood has learned that it can profit from being openly bigoted towards Cops, Jews, Christian, whites and men. Their greed is so deep that they will openly promote hate and exploit women and the gay community to make a buck. The worst part is that they have customers who happily eat this stuff up.

    "How can I help?" is a phrase that more people should use in life. Ryan Eggold does a great job as the new medical director, and I love that"How can I help?" is a phrase that more people should use in life. Ryan Eggold does a great job as the new medical director, and I love that his character genuinely wants to help and make a difference. I look forward to seeing how he and the rest of the cast do that each week. Full Review »

From support of Black Lives Matters (thugs), to "how could anyone live here in the US", to gay men kissing. It sets up the conservative boogeyman to be beaten down by post-modern political correctness. Too many new shows fail because liberal "enlightened" writers try to force-feed liberal politics into them because we, the unwashed masses need to be indoctrinated on the current liberal fads. Stay away from this dog. Same thing happened with Designated Survivor. We want good stories, not democrat propaganda. Full Review »
